That was my original thought too, but the driver implementing the
lvds-encoder bindings also handles the mentioned thine,thc63lvdm83d
lvds encoder, and that binding has the "pwdn" naming. So, for driver
implementation simplicity I went with what was already there, thus
allowing adding support for both bindings with one implementation
(in patch 3/3).

Adding code just to handle multiple names for the same thing does
not sounds too appealing.

Cheers,
Peter
